Tesla Model Y tire size and battery
What fits a Tesla Model Y, generation by generation: the factory tire sizes by trim, the low-voltage battery and the wiper blade lengths. Each line is checked against two independent sources. Before you buy, read the sticker inside the driver's door: it lists the size your Model Y left the factory with.
2020-2024 Tesla Model Y (first generation)
Factory tire sizes
- Model year 2022: the Long Range has 255/45R19 tires (255/40R20 with 20-inch wheels); the Performance has 255/35R21 in front and 275/35R21 in back.1,2,3 #
Battery
- Model year 2022: the low-voltage battery became a lithium-ion battery, phased in at both the Fremont and Shanghai factories.4,5 #
Wiper blades
| Size | Overall diameter, in | Width, in | Sidewall, in | Revolutions per mile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 255/45R19 | 28.0 | 10.0 | 4.5 | 719 |
| 255/40R20 | 28.0 | 10.0 | 4.0 | 719 |
| 255/35R21 | 28.0 | 10.0 | 3.5 | 720 |
| 275/35R21 | 28.6 | 10.8 | 3.8 | 706 |
All 3 factory sizes of the 2020-2024 Tesla Model Y are within 0.1 in of the same overall diameter (28.0 in), so the speedometer reads almost the same on each. Rear-only sizes of staggered setups (a wider tire in back on the same car) are left out of this comparison.
2025-2026 Tesla Model Y (refreshed first generation)
Factory tire sizes
- Model year 2026: the entry-level Standard RWD has 235/55R18 tires; the Premium has 255/45R19; the Performance has 255/35R21 in front and 275/35R21 in back.8,9 #
| Size | Overall diameter, in | Width, in | Sidewall, in | Revolutions per mile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 235/55R18 | 28.2 | 9.3 | 5.1 | 716 |
| 255/45R19 | 28.0 | 10.0 | 4.5 | 719 |
| 255/35R21 | 28.0 | 10.0 | 3.5 | 720 |
| 275/35R21 | 28.6 | 10.8 | 3.8 | 706 |
From the shortest factory size, 255/35R21 (28.0 in tall), to the tallest, 235/55R18 (28.2 in), the overall diameter grows 0.5%. Fit the tall one on a vehicle set up for the short one and, at an indicated 60 mph, you are really doing about 60.3 mph. Stay with the sizes listed for your trim, or compare two sizes first. Rear-only sizes of staggered setups (a wider tire in back on the same car) are left out of this comparison.

Checked on October 17, 2026. We kept a fact only when two independent sources agree, and each one is numbered to its sources below; every fact has its own link (#) so you can point to it. Diameters, widths, sidewalls and revolutions are calculated from the size code, not quoted. We never write a price: the listings come straight from eBay and show what sellers ask.
